The following special keys/areas are common to all DMP keypads.

Pressing the COMMAND key allows you to go forward through the programming menu and through each step of a

programming sec tion. As you go through the programming, the keypad display shows any current programming

already stored in the communicator memory. If no change is required for an option, press the COMMAND key to

advance to the next step.
The COMMAND key is also used to enter information into the communicator’s memory such as an IP address or

zone names. Press the COMMAND key after entering information.

Use the Back Arrow key to back up one step while programming. The Back Arrow key is also used when an error is

made while entering in formation. Press the Back Arrow key once to erase the last character entered.

The top row of keys are called the Select keys on Thinline, and Aqualite keypads or Select Areas on Graphic

Touchscreen keypads. Each time you need to press a Select key, the keypad displays the function or options

above one of the keys or in the Select Area. Displaying choices above individual Select keys or in Select Areas

allows them to be used for many different applications. For example, you can enter AM or PM when programming

the automatic test time or answer 

YES or NO for a system option.

During programming, the Select keys/areas also allow you to change infor mation currently in communicator

memory by pressing the appropriate Select key under or on the display. You then enter the new information using

the keypad data entry digit keys.
When there are more than four re sponse options avail able, press the COMMAND key to display the next one to

four options. Pressing the Back Arrow key allows you to review the previous four choices.

The Select keys/areas are also used for choosing a section from the pro gramming menu. Press any Select key or

touch the Select Area when the programming section name you want displays.
On Thinline and Aqualite keypads, when instructed to press the first Select key, press the far left Select key;

the second Select key is the second from the left; third Select key is second from the right; and the fourth Select

key is the far right key. See Figure 13.

On Graphic Touchscreen Keypads, when instructed to press the first Select key, touch Select Area 1; the second

Select key touch Select Area 2; third Select key touch Select Area 3; and the fourth Select key touch Select

Area 4. See Figure 14.

Some options during programming require you to enter alpha characters. To enter an alpha character, press or

touch the key that has that letter written below it. The keypad displays the number digit of the key. Next, press

the Select key/area that corresponds to the loca tion of the letter under the key. Pressing a different Select key/

area changes the letter. When an other digit key is pressed, the last letter displayed is retained and the process

starts over.
